Today, we’ve continued our maths learning about measurement looking at mass and weight. So far, we’ve been investigating how heavy and light objects are using different equipment. If you’ve any measuring scales at home, find some things to weigh to practise this skill. We’ve investigated when to use grams (g) or kilograms (kg) as the units for measuring mass and weight.
Taken from the Year 2 age related expectations, here are the related objectives we’ll be learning.
24. choose and use appropriate standard units to estimate and measure length/height in any direction (m/cm); mass (kg/g); temperature (°C); capacity (litres/ml) to the nearest appropriate unit, using rulers, scales, thermometers and measuring vessels
25. compare and order lengths, mass, volume/capacity and record the results using >, < and =
We consolidated this learning using a word study.
Here are some example questions of how this learning might appear in a maths reasoning SAT paper.
Also, take a look at Mathletics as new activities have been assigned for the children to follow up this learning at home.
